Yeah, we have some mild changes coming up starting on saturday. Today not bad. Tomorrow pretty cold and windy. Storm tracker6 live double scan right now shows us that we are looking at dry conditions across most of the region but down south there are a couple of showers popping through cape may county, milford, delaware and back toward queen anne and the Eastern Shore of maryland. All of this staying below dover in all likelihood and pushing offer the coast after about 9 oclock or so much i know it looks like its kind of coming to the north but its not going to make much more of a run than you see right now. As we take a look outside we have cloudy skies across the region. Might be thin enough to get sun through the clouds later on. Later today were liable to brighten up a bit. That happened yesterday and i can see that happening maybe late in the afternoon as well. 34 degrees is your temperature in philadelphia, though. 26 in allentown, 28 in reading. Were very cold to start out. Winds are on the light side this morning, so thats good but you still want your coat. In terms of that rain, well, there you see it pushing off the coast after about 10 oclock or so and as we get through the afternoon again we might see bright anyone of the sky from west to east as we go into the later afternoon hours o up in the Lehigh Valley well call eight clouds and sun mix overall and bit of a breeze out there, 46 degrees is your high. Down the shore, clouds and sun, breezy, 48 degrees the high there. And in philadelphia, well probably get up to about 50. Now, the thing about these highs today, i think they probably hit a little early in the day, say, around 1 30 or 2 00 and then this northwest wind starts to kick in, it gets breezier and those temperatures will start to tumble a bit through the afternoon. I could see us down to, say, the upper 30s in philadelphia by dinnertime and then overnight we dip all the way to 28 degrees, partly cloudy, brisk and cold with winds in the 10 to 20 Miles Per Hour range. Then on thursday, well, weve got a front thats pushing away from us along with an area of low pressure and then behind it it is going to be chilly. Well probably only see a high of 39 degrees in philadelphia. Even if we manage 40 or so youre still looking at wind gusts in the 35 to 40 Miles Per Hour range. Now, these arent as strong as those severe gusts we had on monday but its still going to be pretty uncomfortable with wind chills in the 20s the majority of the day. Probably wind chills in the teens in the morning. Again thats the setup for thursday. Your exclusive accuweather 7day forecast of forecast, todays high is 50 a mix of clouds and sun. Tomorrow windy and colder way high around 39 feeling like the teens in the morning and 20s in the afternoon. Then a little bit breezy on friday, but we do improve to 43 for a high in the afternoon. The big payoff comes for the weekend. Well start out kind of cold right at dawn on saturday but we quickly see those numbers rise and in the afternoon well get to a high of 57 degrees on saturday. Then sunday even warmer with a high of 64. Still fairly bright, a mix of sun and clouds. Monday for president s day, still nice and a high of 58. If your kids have a three day weekend coming up really good weather to go out and do some fun stuff. Then on tuesday mostly sunny and 58 degrees. The early look has more clouds and maybe a shower on wednesday. By then i think the ridge is starting to break down but wednesdays high could still be in the upper 50s so several Straight Days of very mild air just around the corner but weve got a couple chillier ones to deal with on the way.
